C
H.N. Minister and Foreign Office which is being repented to you.
(2) As to the debt due on socout of the Canten-Kowloon
railway I did not think it possible in the ci reimat snoes
explained in H.M.Minister's talegram of 26th Eny to ineresse
amount alreedy fixed. I did not, desire however to reject your
preposal on this point without knowing exactly what' the debt
en
was and I therefore asked in my telegræs of 27th lay for
further details. I have not yet received these but it appears from Lampson's telegram of 26th limy that he is proceeding with negotistions andit therefore now appeara impossɛáble to
to make an increase in the manner proposed in the silocation
out of the Boxer Indani ty.
Portion therefore is that although this is
not to be recovered out of Bomr indemnity funds it remina
es before an obligstien of China.
